The most important gift to give a catholic is a rosary. It's possible that a rosary will become your most valuable possession.

Our selection of Catholic rosaries from Marie Madeleine is trustworthy, expertly crafted, and of excellent quality. Giving one of our pocket rosaries made by Knots by Grace is a wonderful Catholic gift idea because not everyone has a beautiful rosary that they can carry around in their pocket for usage at work or when on the go.
And then there is our one of kind Brazilian Wooden Heart Rosary which holds the image of the Sacred of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary on each bead. This makes a great gift to those who have a great devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Mary. A beautiful timeless and personal gift for prayer.
2. Holy Medals & Jewelry – wearable inspiration and protection
Catholic jewelry is a lovely way to commemorate significant occasions in a person's spiritual journey.

Necklaces and bracelets to wear as a reminder of God's presence such as our Cross Coin Medallion Necklace and Rosary Bracelets.

The beauty in giving a Catholic prayer booklet encourages one to open their heart to Christ. This can be used at adoration, before mass or during prayer time at home.

5. Holy Cards & Prints – small but powerful spiritual reminders
More great Catholic gift ideas for children are the educational holy cards from the Catholic Family Crate brand in our collection of children’s toys at Marie Madeleine.

We also carry The Wisdom of the Saints Ring, 27 cards dedicated to the Doctors of the Church, where a child can unlock the profound insights of the Church’s greatest thinkers. This can allow the saints to serve as the catholic role models they aspire to be daily.
Both of these Holy Cards make impactful Catholic gifts for children.

7. Prayer Candles – create a prayerful atmosphere at home
Looking for a meaningful yet affordable religious gift? A prayer candle might be a lovely birthday or housewarming gift. A prayer candle's beauty serves as a reminder of God's presence. At Marie Madeleine in our Holy Gifts collection for the home, we hold a beautiful collection of Scripture Candles. These elegantly designed white candles bring warmth and inspiration to any setting, featuring a powerful verse from the Bible. The perfect gift to give any Christian.
The candle with verse Joshua 24:15 would make a beautiful housewarming gift which reads: "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

10. Chaplets – Gifts by Devotion
Chaplets make a beautiful gift for the people in your life who you know our deep into their faith. This is because a chaplet is prayer of specific devotion. There are many different chaplets, which keep in mind are different than a rosary. In our Rosary House at Marie Madeleine, we carry three special chaplets which all include instructions on how to pray them.
1. The St. Benedict Chaplet
Even though this small chaplet takes less than ten minutes to pray, the meaning behind it is powerful. This makes a great gift to a friend who may be feeling attacked from the other side or struggling through hard times because it is a prayer of protection from evil.
2. The St. Michael Chaplet
This chaplet is a prayer of devotion to not only St. Michael but to all the other nine Choirs of Angels. Many graces are given if you pray this chaplet daily in your lifetime and it is also said that the Choirs of Angels will accompany you at mass when you receive holy communion. This chaplet protects you from evil, distress, temptation and helps assist you to be more Christ like with the help of all the angels.
3. Our Lady of Sorrows Rosary Chaplet
This amazing rosary chaplet is a devotion that allows you to share in the Blessed Mother's grief as you ponder the pain she went through with her Son during his lifetime, making it worth every moment spent in prayer. This will not only help you better appreciate Mother Mary, but it will also improve your relationship with her son, Jesus. We do highly recommend purchasing The Rosary of the Seven Sorrows Prayer Booklet for it gives you the instructions on how to pray this special rosary chaplet.
